My biggest takeaway from the game is that TPP very much looks the part. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Farmingdale State. But in the two games I've seen, he just seems under control, never sped up, never frantic, multi-faceted offensively – I like him.

Biggest negative? Christie. The 4 and 4 in eight minutes looks like a decent night, but he was pushed around by smaller guys – tied up, boxed out, etc. I don't know how he ended up with zero turnovers. It wasn't a great night. Chef is clearly ahead of him. It still feels like we're a little thin – hopefully TSM is back out there soon. One injury to a core guy and it feels like we'd have no bench firepower to speak of. Garcia and Olaniyi are both over 35 minutes a night in our two D-I games.

The offense still lacks fluidity. And I still think we're a gear behind where we were last year when we crashed the glass, hit the floor for loose balls, and gave teams hell on the perimeter.

I don't love Olaniyi's bow-and-arrow three-point celebration. Maybe it means something to him – it costs him at least a second getting back on defense. As long as they go in, I guess.

Off to Texas. Let's go get at least two.
